a bright light-green colour, and have a pair of glands on the stalk just where the leaf sets on, 
rich canary-yellow, rather larger than a shilling, with spoon-shaped brown petals, delicately fringed and wrinkled; they 
grow in small clusters. In this country it must be treated as a greenhouse plant. It will succeed best if planted out in 
the border of the house and trained up die rafters- When kept in a pot it is necessary to have a trell made, round 
which the branches can be trained. Any good garden soil seems to suit it, and it strikes readily enough from cuttings. 
As it has a thick fleshy root, it rec[uire9 but a small supply of water after it has made its growth for the season* If the 
species flowers freely it will be a desirable plant owing to its neat habit, which is that of the Siigmaj^Kyllom in cultivation.
